Social Media Blackout Day

Join us in logging out and living in real life again

Remember when we didn’t care what our high school friends were doing—until the reunion? Or that our friend of a friend of a friend is vacationing in Hawaii and enjoying another sunset needing #nofilter? Or when a front-page headline meant big news instead of a trending hashtag?

We now spend at least 1 hour and 7 minutes a day on our social networks—that’s 400 hours each year of our personal time, time that could be spent writing a book, learning to tap dance, or making eye contact. With anyone. On October 16, we’re stealing our time back! We’ve joined forces with Marc Hartzman, author of our Anti-Social Network Journal, for Knock Knock’s first-ever Social Media Blackout Day!

For 24 hours, we’re logging off social networks. There will be no “This is what I’m eating,” no Liking our friends’ new haircut selfies, no rebroadcasting that New Yorker article. Can YOU go a whole day without Liking, Tweeting, or Pinning? We challenge you!
